Here’s a whole load of the articles I’m interested in (and will, sometime, get around to reading), because The Guardian stopped the Clippings service in June 2012, without having an alternative in place (and still no alternative).
This is the easiest way I can find to have easily accessible links to the articles I have already clipped. I thought I had saved them on the PC, but when I went to look for them, there was nothing. Luckily, the whole list is still on The Guardian’s site, and now saved here, too.
